Session cap versus weekly quota

Oh that's why my last chat consumed only 15% of my weekly quota. Nice, anyways, already blew my 5h limit, I'm going to sleep

@oLeonardoFrito on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Really hate my 5hr limit :(((( can't utilize my weekly now and we getting a reset. :(

@EsterlingN67571 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

this is my first time being able to use all my plus account usage between two resets, i hate 5 hour limit

@txjjzzqbx2026 on X ↗ · 25 Oct 2026

Resets don't mean much if I can't use the damn quota because of the bullshit 5 hour limit. Please get the damn compute and take it off. Oh, and for the love of quota, do BANKED resets!

@381Verity on X ↗ · 23 Oct 2026

Man I can't take advatage of resets if you're keeping the 5-hour limit in Plus

@ismaMorale115 on X ↗ · 20 Oct 2026

You can have a 5 hour usage limit without being able to use it bc your weekly limit is done

@marxstrimist on X ↗ · 17 Oct 2026

Plus users are the homeless of OpenAi. Poor usage, 5h limits and resets that worth nothing. I have 3 banked reset I can't use, I wouldn't ever consume even 50% weekly with this small 5h limits, I should use codex 7/24 waiting each time for 5h limit restore.

@spicchio721 on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026

I guess if you can't blitz your remain credits before a reset it's hard to manage them in a way where they all get used without leaving you without. I guess anyone with a full time job hates 5h limits as they get limited windows to use them. It's no problem to me though, I've…

1. I suspect the poll is about predictability more than quota size. I plan intensive Codex sessions around the next renewal; below ~20% I switch to lighter models and reserve ~5% for emergencies. A hard 5h cap can break that planning, even with 2x weekly usage.

@philnosophy on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026

Lame. I just used a reset a few hours ago and 5 hour limit makes it impossible to fully utilize usage before reset. This is why people hate 5 hour limit.

@Richetoku on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026

no the 5h 2x week usage is better. when reset, i just need 2 days to finish the usage. please

@RuiqiSg on X ↗ · 13 Oct 2026

I really doubt I'd be able to use 2x my weekly if a 5hr limit was imposed. I'm not using codex 24/7! It's more about dense coding sessions. Also, with all the random resets, the weekly limit is often irrelevant anyways. a 5hr limit however, would be immediately very relevant.

@Skeets523 on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

Counterpoint: there's a lot of value in not having to do cartwheels to maximize usage around 5h windows. 5h limits make resets way less valuable. Basically if you average one reset per week then no 5h limit puts you ahead.

@iansltx on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

Bro, you took away the limits that we ALREADY HAD, now you're offering to return them, but with a 5h window? Gpt 6.1 sol responds with 30 TKS - should I sleep 4 hours a week to spend all the windows? Return the old limits without a window.

@miniwampir1 on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

A five-hour limit is fine, but the usage allowance within each five-hour window needs to be three times the original amount.

@marsCCnl on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

Since Opus 5.5, even Claude Pro ($20) handles real work. Almost three weeks in, I can't use up the weekly limit. 8-10h days, never past 83%. The bottleneck is the 5-hour window, not the weekly cap. Two sessions a day don't reach 1/7 of the weekly quota. I'd need 15-16h days.

@PlamenNikolov3 on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

We have lives outside work. When we find time to code, we need uninterrupted sessions. Being blocked for hours is frustrating. A weekly quota would let us manage our time and usage freely, without forced breaks. Token costs and limits change, but flexibility matters most.

@BydaSantos on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

after OpenAI introduced the 5-hour limit, I’ve barely been using it. Even when the usage gets reset, I can’t use up the full allowance before it resets again. remove the 5-hour limit and give resets only through reset tickets instead then you will get more people to stay on Plus.

@w1elmf on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

Just drop the weekly limit and cap it at 5 hours instead.

@August1746676 on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

Nobody trusts the weekly limit; there is no other possible reason. For me, it is absurd: two intensive days with a 5-hour limit waste my weekly limit, so why would I want a 5-hour limit?

@gaxupin on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

It’s hard to use weekly if I’m capped 5hrs at a time, i would have to be working outside work hours. 5hr limit even worse for my personal account, as I want to hit usage hard on the weekend but hit the 5hr limit when that’s when I want to use the majority of my useable

@DylanZemek on X ↗ · 12 Oct 2026

I'm sorry but the 5h limit before it went away was like 10% of weekly or something on the $200 plan. It was easy to still hit the weekly a few days into the week. It would be too easy to prove if they made the weekly unreachable.

@dirkglensk on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026

RESET has impacted my work tempo and if there will be 5h limits, I’ll feel absolutely awful

@AlieeMind on X ↗ · 11 Oct 2026

with all the banked resets we need to be able to use more volume with our 5 hour limit :) currently its around 20% of weekly maybe make it 35%

@danison_1337 on X ↗ · 9 Oct 2026

Your reset mechanism is an absolute disaster. Whether it's the delayed reset logic or the completely useless Plus reset crippled by the 5-hour limit, both sides are a mess. Until you actually fix these core restrictions, this feature will forever remain pure trash.

@hanakamiov on X ↗ · 9 Oct 2026

Thanks for the banked resets, I cannot use them fast enough on my plus plan. GPT 6.1 Sol medium is perfect for the 5 hr usage limit. You are leaving money on the table. I would buy banked resets at for $5 on a plus plan. My budget is $40 a month for feeding this hobby.

@eksMedina on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026

Please make 5 hours limits optional on plus not mandatory. I need to use my banked resets. This way I am not building anything and gonna lose them

@erictrisvan on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026

Plus users cannot fully benefit from a reset of their weekly usage limits because of the five-hour usage cap. This restriction can also prevent users from completing their tasks.

@sunromoon on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026

If you guys will remove the 5 hours limit from 20$ accounts those resets will be a bit more usefull ;-)

@citizenx8691 on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026

Let me suggest a improvement, using reset should not push the weekly limit. Because of these resets and the 5hr limit I’m not never able to fully utilise my plus plan.The audience need improvements that are actually useful to them instead of things that are irrelevant to them.

@mehra_srikant on X ↗ · 8 Oct 2026

It can’t soft the problem for 5 hr limit for plus user
